The Undergraduate Program Development Project- A Mechanism To Ensure The Quality Of Training

In the current era, higher education has undergone significant changes that have forced it to establish quality systems to respond to the demands of society. The development of the work is based on a bibliographic review of the Chilean regulations on quality assurance in higher education and based on the focuses on which it emphasizes, an instrument is proposed that allows the career or program toimplement a quality assurance mechanism. The proposed management tool -Career or Program Development Project, CPP- aims to contribute efficiency and effectiveness to the training process through the continuous improvement of the careers and programs offered by an institution, as well as in the aspects of management, follow-up of student progression and trajectory, feedback and innovation of the curriculum, and effectiveness of teaching. As a quality assurance mechanism, the CPP seeks to institutionally install a culture of quality, self-evaluation and self-regulation, in order to contribute to the closing of gaps and continuous improvement of the educational process. In a complementary manner, it considers the demands of quality standards in Chile.
